  • The Expanse series
  • The Martian
  • Justified (TV tie-in concept)

Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy police procedurals with real stakes, where the job is harder because there's nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
  • You love ensemble casts like in Justified or The Expanse, where you get to know the team and care about their dynamics.
  • You want sci-fi that feels lived-in and gritty rather than shiny and utopian, with concrete problems instead of abstract concepts.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer standalone novels, since this is book two in a series and assumes you know the characters and the Colossus already.
  • You're looking for hard sci-fi with detailed explanations of how ships and technology work. This prioritises human conflict over engineering.
  • You want the action to be the main event. This is procedural first, meaning investigation and dialogue matter more than firefights.

About this book

On the colony ship Colossus, the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) works to identify and neutralize threats among nearly half a million passengers and crew. Members of this elite police force must protect the ship while maintaining the rule of law in an environment where danger is constant. Policing aboard the Colossus presents unique challenges. The SIU officers balance law enforcement duties with the pressures of living in close quarters alongside volatile passengers struggling to adapt and ordinary residents going about their lives. The rules governing law enforcement are themselves new, adding complexity to an already difficult job. Dead Space is the second book in the SIU series, a science fiction police procedural that follows the unit as they work to maintain order on a ship traveling through space toward a new world.
